Simple Abundance

I received this book a couple of months ago as an early birthday present from a good friend of mine. 

I absolutely L.O.V.E. it! 

It's like those little quote books that gives you a quote per day except more in depth.  The author gives you about a page long insight of each value, virtue, or thought she is sharing.  It's so uplifting and so much that it helps me get up and make a change.

Awesome book to own for life.

Tainted by Brooke Morgan

It's been a a really long time, I mean weeks, (I know.. long, right? lol) since I've had a book that I got through in 2 days.  And not because it had double digit pages.  The book has over 400 pages of for reals, good story, suspense, compassion and love.

You do have to stomach the "F" word a lot.  I almost put the book down in the first few chapters but when I looked at the character that used the word, I stayed. Henry is a 70+ year old widowed Marine.  Not that it's okay to say the "F" word, but that old man didn't have any other choice of language.  You get to know him pretty quick and love him.

There were so many times I walked in Holly's shoes and then sometimes I wanted to just beat her over the head.  The author did a great time putting you in the middle of her book not as a spectator but as a participant.  Pretty good stuff!

Definitely.
